Additional information for getting started with Gatsby
Sign up for a free account using the Blog Template.
On step 2, give your project a name and ensure you select Blog Template as your template.
After going through the sign up process and you are logged in to Agility CMS, on the Getting Started Page click the API Keys button to retrieve youre credentials.
Then, click the Show API Key(s) button to view your Live and Preview keys.
Take note of your GUID and your Live API Key and Preview API Key. Click the Show buttons beside both to unmask the credentials and copy these somewhere temporarily, or refer back to this screen when you begin to Configure your local environment.
git clone https://github.com/agility/agility-gatsby-starter
With NPM
cd agility-gatsby-starter
npm install
Rename ./.env.development.example to ./.env.development
cp .env.development.example .env.development
Add your development AGILITY_GUID and AGILITY_API_KEY variable values in .env.development
# Your Instance Id
AGILITY_GUID=
# Your Preview API Key (recommended) - you can get this from the Getting Started Page in Agility CMS. It starts with defaultpreview.
AGILITY_API_KEY=
# If using your Preview API Key, set this to true
AGILITY_API_ISPREVIEW=true
Rename ./.env.production.example to ./.env.production
cp .env.production.example .env.production
Add your production AGILITY_GUID and AGILITY_API_KEY variable values in .env.production
# Your Instance Id
AGILITY_GUID=
# Your Live API Key (recommended) - you can get this from the Getting Started Page in Agility CMS. It starts with defaultlive.
AGILITY_API_KEY=
# Since you won't want to preview here, set this to false
AGILITY_API_ISPREVIEW=false
Once the above steps are done, you can launch your local development server:
With NPM
npm start
It's good practice to build a production version and test it locally before publishing it or doing a pull request into master. Here's how to do it:
With NPM
npm run build
npm run serve
☝️ Deploy this starter repo in just minutes with ZEIT. It will prompt you to enter your AGILITY_GUID, AGILITY_API_KEY, and AGILITY_API_ISPREVIEW.
☝️ Deploy this starter repo in just minutes with Netlify. You'll need to add your Agility CMS AGILITY_GUID, AGILITY_API_KEY, and AGILITY_API_ISPREVIEW variables in Netlify's Site settings > Build & deploy > Environment section.
You'll want to take a peek under the hood at some point and take the starter's configuration for Gatsby further. To get a better understanding of the options, please visit GatsbyJS Source Plugin for Agility CMS on GitHub for documentation.
Agility CMS is a headless Content Management System (CMS) that lets you define your custom content types, relationships and pages. This is called Content Architecture, and you can reuse this content for your websites and apps.
Agility believes that a successful website balances the User Experience (UX), Editor Experience (EX), and Developer Experience (DX).
While Gatsby tends to handle UX and DX quite well, too often editors are an after-thought in Gatsby (and other JAMstack) websites. They feel constrained by not being able to manage their sitemap and what content is on which pages.
Agility aims to empower and improve the Editor Experience by providing built-in Page Management. This means developers can build UI Components and leave editors to compose their pages.
